GETTING FAMILIARIZED WITH THE SCANNER AND THE CRADLE

INSTALLING THE BATTERY TO THE SCANNER

When you first receive the package, the rechargeable battery is stored separately from

the scanner. Insert the battery into the scanner first so that it can be charged when

sitting in the cradle.

Note: Any improper handling may reduce the battery life.

1) Insert the battery into the battery compartment and close the battery cap.

2) Use a coin or flat-blade screw driver to rotate the battery cap clockwise until snug.

3) Hold down the trigger about 2 seconds to turn on the scanner.

4) The scanner will respond with a long beep and its LED will come on-off shortly.

Note: (1) To turn off the scanner, remove the battery.

(2) For shipping and storage purposes, save the scanner and the battery

separately. This will keep the battery in good condition for future use.

(3) When the battery charge becomes low, you will find the scanner cannot emit

scan beam and its power-on beep sounds differently.

SETTING UP THE CRADLE

Capable of charging the scanner, the cradle is specifically designed for the scanner to

communicate with a host computer wirelessly. The connection between the scanners and

the cradle is made easy and reliable.

Two LED indicators are provided for power and communications status.

CHARGING THE BATTERY VIA THE CRADLE

The battery may not be charged to full for shipment. When you first receive the package,

you will need to charge the battery to full before using the scanner. When using the

RS-232 cable, it takes approximately 5 hours to charge the battery to full (from the

power adaptor).

Note: Battery charging stops when the temperature drops below 0°C or exceeds 40°C. It

is recommended to charge the battery at room temperature (18°C to 25°C) for

optimal performance.

1) Install the battery to the scanner.

2) Seat the scanner in the cradle.

3) Connect the cradle to your computer or notebook via the USB or RS-232 cable.

4) Connect the power supply cord from the cradle to a proper power outlet.

Warning: RS-232/USB interface both require connecting the power supply cord.

When the cradle is solely on USB power, the current may be insufficient for

it to function normally. You must connect the power supply cord.

5) The LED for power indication on the cradle will become solid red.

6) The scanner LED will be flashing red during charging.

When the charging is done, the LED will turn off.

When charging error occurs, the LED will turn solid red.

7) The LED for communications on the cradle will first become solid blue while initializing.

Refer to the table above for details on different stage of communications.

CHARGING THE BATTERY VIA CHARGER

The battery charger is provided for charging the battery only. You may purchase the

charger separately. It takes approximately 3 hours to charge the battery to full.

Note: Battery charging stops when the temperature drops below 0°C or exceeds 40°C. It

is recommended to charge the battery at room temperature (18°C to 25°C) for

optimal performance.

1) Slide the battery smoothly until the latch rises to secure it.

2) Connect the power supply cord to the charger.

3) Connect the other end of the power cord to a suitable power outlet.
